This is a follow-up release providing the various binaries that were not released with 0.16.4. It also makes some adjustments to delta's (rip)grep support.

What's Changed

• Increase number of characters shown in submodule hashes by @dandavison in #1421
• Fix typo in publishing build job & restore cross-compilation by @nickelc in #1430
• 3819e94 Drop grep-header-style option by @dandavison
• a28231a Honor grep-header-decoration-style for ripgrep output by @dandavison

Full Changelog: 0.16.4...0.16.5

It's 6 months since the last release so this one brings quite a few changes. Thanks very much to all contributors, especially @nickelc for a huge number of contributions, and @wescande for his work on improving whitespace highlighting. With this release delta can now display grep output in (hopefully) exactly the same layout that ripgrep does, but adding syntax highlighting, hyperlinks, and navigation. Use ripgrep --json ... | delta for that, or set grep-output-type = ripgrep to get that output style from git grep etc.

This release does not contain binaries for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, i686-unknown-linux-gnu, arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf, or aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu because the cross-compilation GitHub Actions jobs were broken at the time of release. I'll issue a follow-up release including them when that's fixed.

What's Changed

Thanks to all contributors for the changes in this release! One particularly exciting contribution is the tweaks to the highlighting algorithm made by @phillipwood in #1244.

Full Changelog: 0.12.0...0.12.1

There's quite a lot in this release, with contributions from 8 different people.

Firstly a breaking change: some deprecated options are no longer supported: in particular plus-color and minus-color. See #914. A description of this change and what you need to do if you're affected by it is below.

Secondly, improvements, including:

• A (much-needed) short help text is now available: use delta -h. Delta is the proud possessor of 100 command-line options, so I think this is going to be helpful.
• git blame output now displays line numbers (thanks to @th1000s)
• Improvements to file and mode labels by @WayneD
• delta now has a user manual: https://dandavison.github.io/delta/. You can even create a PDF copy (print button in upper-right hand corner), and the README is correspondingly now a much easier read with the minimal required setup instructions and an overview of functionality with screenshots.

Finally some bug fixes, including

• File path hyperlinks (e.g. in diff and grep output) were previously sometimes incorrect, especially when delta was invoked from a directory other than the repo root.
• Some fixes to grep output parsing edge cases

Deprecated options no longer supported:

The options affected here have been deprecated for a couple of years; I hope this doesn't cause you any trouble. Here are the details:

The most common case is that you have something like this in your ~/.gitconfig:

[delta]
    plus-color = my_plus_color
    minus-color = my_minus_color

Please change that to

[delta]
    plus-style = syntax my_plus_color
    minus-style = normal my_minus_color

Here's the list of deprecated options with a summary of how to update them:

minus-color             Deprecated: use `minus-style = normal my_background_color`
plus-color              Deprecated: Use `plus-style = syntax my_background_color`
minus-emph-color        Deprecated: use `minus-emph-style = normal my_background_color`
plus-emph-color         Deprecated: Use `plus-emph-style = syntax my_background_color`
highlight-removed       Deprecated: use `minus-style = syntax my_background_color`
commit-color            Deprecated: use `commit-style = my_foreground_color
                                         commit-decoration-style = my_foreground_color`
file-color              Deprecated: use `file-style = my_foreground_color
                                         file-decoration-style = my_foreground_color`
hunk-style              Deprecated: synonym of `hunk-header-decoration-style`
hunk-color              Deprecated: use `hunk-header-style = my_foreground_color
                                         hunk-header-decoration-style = my_foreground_color`
theme                   Deprecated: use `syntax-theme`
